Zieten (foaled 23 March 1990) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Trained in France as a juvenile he was unbeaten in four races including the Prix La Fleche, Prix d'Arenberg and Middle Park Stakes. In the following year he took his unbeaten run to five in the Prix de Fontainebleau but was beaten in six subsequent races. As a four-year-old he raced in Japan and England and recorded a final big win in the Challenge Stakes. He was then retired to stud and had some success as a breeding stallion.
Zieten was a "small, lengthy" bay horse with a white star and white socks on his hind legs bred in Kentucky by his owner, Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud. The colt was imported to Europe and sent into training in France with Andre Fabre.
His sire Danzig, who ran only three times before his career was ended by injury, was a highly successful stallion who sired the winners of more than fifty Grade I/Group One races. His offspring include the champions Chief's Crown, Dayjur and Lure as well as the important stallion Danehill. Zieten's dam Blue Note was a top-class sprinter whose wins included the Prix de la Porte Maillot and the Prix Maurice de Gheest as a three-year-old in 1988. She was a distant descendant of the British broodmare Stained Glass (foaled 1917) who was the dam of the 1000 Guineas winner Scuttle.
